Yes he attempted something ******, got caught and paid a price for it. There are no angels in this sport, everyone is looking for an edge. You name your favorite fighters right now and I guarantee you they have skeletons in their closet. It is what it is.
I lost respect for Margarito after his scandal, but I also know that before that point, I was a huge fan. He was as tough as nails and always came to fight. Why did he decide to try cheating? I have no idea. Maybe he knew he was losing his edge and on the down slide. It would be easy for me to hate on him but hate takes effort and is draining. Instead, I will remember him as a fighter pre-scandal, enjoy them and wish him the best in his life after boxing.
If they get caught and then pay their dues, I will give them another chance as long as their perceived victims also did so. Cotto fought him again and gave him another chance. If Cotto was willing to cross that line and get in the ring with him again, regardless of his intentions, then I will do so also. I remember when Cotto said Antonio never deserved another payday from him, but he shook it off and like a warrior, wanted to exact some revenge. Life is short and people make mistakes.
